Grand Championnat

date?
Candido Aragonez de Faria(1849-1911)
Grand Championnat wrestling poster. Research has turned up nothing regarding this Faria poster. I think this sort of poster was printed in advance and travelled ahead of the show, where local printers would add time , date and location information.

Le Pole Nord

Albert Guillaume  (1873-1942)
French painter. I’m guessing the title means “The North Pole”. Guillaume is considered a master from “La Belle Epoque” period. Contemporaries include…Jules Cheret, Toulouse Lautrec and Alphonse Mucha.
